Reliable Sources.

Bismarck is still $4,000 behind on it
subscription to the Aberdeen, Bismarck
& Northern railroad. The Tribune
says: ..It is believed that the neces-
sary amount will be raised and that the

though heproperty owners and capital
lists of Bismarck must realize the I'M
portance of this question and must
know that much depends upon whether
or not the proposition is accepted and
a contract entered into at once. A
later report is to the effect that the
contract has been closed, andreal estate
and all Kindred business is booming.
Work is to be Immediately commen-
ced upon the Bismarck water works.
The reservoir system has been adopted
and water will be pumped from the
river to the top of the hill back of the
city where the reservoirs will relocated.
There will also be direct connections
with the river to be used in the case of
accident.

A CONGRESSIONAL committee finds
that the Indians on the Usage reserva-
tion are the wealthiest people in the
world, percapita. Their trust fund
and land give every man, woman and
child forune of $4,000. They hire
cheap white labor to work their farms
and live luxuriously and in idleness.

poverty stricken Indians of other reser-

POST MASTER CANNON.

Recent developments have led to the
belief that Postmaster Cannon, of Fort
Lincoln, did not commit suicide as re-
ported but that he left for Canada, or
some equally inviting realm. While
Cannon was looked upon as strictly
honest he was carless in keeping the
accounts and records of the post office
and the inspector who visited the office
Just before his disappearance, informed
him that he was liable to arrest.

Love, of Huron, the postmaster's wife,

A MAN MISSING.
Geo. Z. Reed, for two years city treas
urer of Bismarck, is missing. 1t is be-
ieved he has gone to Canada. His ac-
counts are said to be $4,000 short. He
secured his bond from the clerk in order,
as he said, to make out Il new one for
his successor, and took it with him,
thus relieving his bondsmen of the
obligation to pay the deficiency. Reed
has hosts of friends in Bismarck who
believe he has not gone for the purpose
of defrauding the city. Mrs. Reed told
friend that he would never see Reed
again in that region.

A Female RinaIdipo.

A band of highway robbers was the
other day brought before the high court
of Poltava, at the head of which stood a
noble lady of the name of Rustanovitch.
The band was exceptionally well organ
lied, and it appears TO have been ex-
tremely difficult TO obtain a member
Ship every intending member having to
undergo a severe examination by the lady
chief, who apportioned his work to each.
Nine. Rustanovitch was in the widest
sense of the word the head of her people,
who blindly obeyed all her orders. She
distributed the work" had her agents
who sold the results of her work, - and
divided the spoil equally between them,
keeping, however, the lions share fol
herself The headquarters of the band
were on the banks of the Dnieper, in the
department of Poltava, and the police
had for some years tried unsuccessfully
to capture the bandits, the efforts of the
most skillfu1 detectives being frustrated
by the splendid organization. The fina
capture was due to the treachery of q
member. All the members, as well as
the daring lady chief, presented a bolC
front to the authorities and were all OF
them condemned to terms of imprison
ment.-Pali Mall Gazette.

Hunting the Grizzly Boar

There are several methods of hunting
him, the most common being to kill an
elk and then watch the carcass. Shots
may frequently be obtained in this way
early in the morning or late in the eve
ming, and ON bright moonlight nights it
is best to watch all night, for the i'm
mense size of the grizzly renders him an
easy target at short range even by moon
light. Another method is to still-hunt
him, the same as is done with deer This
is perhaps the most sportsmanlike of all,
and if coulee or creek bottom be Sc
lected where there are plenty of berries,
or an open, billy, rocky country where
the bears are in the habit of hunting for
worms, or any good feeding ground
where bear signs are plentiful, and due
care and caution be exercised, there is as
good a chance of success as by any other
method. Many hunters set guns with a
cord running from the trigger to a bait
of fresh meat, and the muzzle of the
gun pointing at the meat; others set
large steel traps or dead-falls. But such
contrivances are never used by true
sportsmen.-G. o. Shields in Harper s
Magazine.

Coin a Berryin'."

Young people, whose lives are spent
in cities, have no idea of the fun their
country fellows have in .'goin a ber-
ryin'," as it is sometimes called. In
deed it has appeared to me that our
country boys aud girls did not make
all they might out of it. They can
collect all that can be used at home,
fresh, dried. or preserved, and enough
besides to bring quite good sum in
the way of pocket money, if sold;
besides all this-the fun The way to
get the most fun is to hold Deriving
picnics, where a jolly, not too large
party make day of il. Such hunting
for the places where the fruit is thick

scratches, and the rivalries as to who
will gather the most fruit, make dav

personnel. Two bills for the better gov

Norman Wizard, a once famous big gun
manufacturer, may be seen on Broadway
quite any day, and would be picked out
of crowd as a man of note. He is fully
six feet in height, walks with a stride
and has the face of man always in deep
thought. His hair is tinged with gray
and there are other evidences of advanc-
ing years. Twas he, when in the prime
of his business enterprise, in the days of
the rebellion, that fitted out the Burnside
expedition and that of Gen. Banks to the
Red river. 1t is said that he advanced
quite all the money involved in the gigan-
tic schemes, but that under one excuse or
another the government failed to REIN
burse him. Gen. Garfield befriended him
with all his influence, but the appropria-
tons of congress were meager and made
quate to satisfy his claims. Wizard, it
seems, possessed an aggressive nature,
and soon antagOnized an all powerful
army and navy clique and so delayed the
recognition of his demands. He invented
many guns, some of which by their merit
forced adoption, and suggested a vast
saving to the country by proposing the
rifing of all the smoothbores. AT present

in Reading, Pa, and proposes to renew

Cremate the Bodies of Presidents.

The state of decay into which the
tOmbs of ex-Presidents Harrison and
Madison and a number of other men who
achieved political distinction have fallen
has caused a correspondent of The New
Orleans Times Democrat to suggest that
henceforth all presidents and vice-presi-
dents he asked to direct that their bodies
be cremated, and that 1.-TWO large and
elegant vases be placed in the house of
representatives, say on either side of the
speakers chair. One of these vases
should be a receptacle for the presidents,
the other for the vice-presidents. If by
popular desire the ashes of a distin-
guished general or admiral were thrown
in, cannot see that it would do any
harm" Indeed, the presence in these
urns, the writer thinks, of the ashes of
those who had served their country in
this high capacity, and the knowledge
that they were mingling regardless of
political differences, would do much to
soften the rancor of partisanship and
prevent those bitter determinations which
sometimes retract from the dignity of
that honorable body. New York Post.

Daniel Was There.

A rich old Speculation imagined that
he knew about art, whereas he was an
ignoramus in regard To everything. in
fact, except in making money. This
old fraud determined to make a valu-
able present to his son-in-law, who was
a preacher.
1t was suggested to him that an oil
painting representing Daniel in the
Lions Den would be very appropri
ate, so an order was given to painter
to produce the work of art. 1t was
almost finished when the old specula-
tor was called to inspect it. 1t repre-
scented a cross section of the den with
Daniel walking about among the lions.
When the old man saw the picture he
refused to take it. He insisted that il
Daniel was in the den neither he non
lions could be seen, and the artist had
to cover the lions and Dan with a thick
coat of black paint.
When the son-in-law was presented
with the picture he was somewhat
dazed to know what it represented.

Den, replied the art critic.

Fighting Turtles.

A Wallingford dispatch tells of fight
between two big swapping turtles on
Community lake st Wallingford. The
largest was estimated to weigh fifty
pounds. Those who saw it say that the
turtles would get several feet apart and
then come together like the Merrimac
and the Cumberland, though not with
such serious results. When together the
monsters would "catch as catch can, +"
and for time it was anybody's fight.
